Toolbank man Peter Cairns, aged 60, died earlier this month of a heart attack.
Mr Cairns worked at Toolbank for 25 years as sales manager, branch manager and regional director. He retired at the end of January this year due to ill health and had been undergoing treatment for cancer for some time. He died on March 13th.

A statement from Toolbank said: "He was a very loyal, professional and talented businessman who had developed an excellent team at Finnie of whom he was extremely proud.

"He was personally delighted that David Crawford and Craig Aitchison had been promoted to manage the continued development of Toolbank's Scottish business from the new premises at Hillington after his retirement.

"Everyone who came into contact with Peter on a personal or professional basis will know that he was a very fine man in every respect. All of his colleagues and friends within Finnie and Toolbank, our customers and suppliers will miss an excellent colleague and a real friend with a great sense of humour."

The funeral was held on Friday March 18 near Peter's family home in Denny.
He is survived by his wife Christine and daughters Shona and Lucy.
